B. Jacquemin & Co., 27 Main street One of the most destructive fires that has visited the Bluffs in several months, and ono entailing a 1038 of soveral thousand dollars, broke out about five minutes before 9 o'clock last evening on the lower floor of the build ing at 31 South Main st It was a two- story frame structure, the lower floor being oceupied by Woolsey & Long, paintors and paper hangers, and the front partof the building was filled by a large stock of wall paver and decorative material. The fire originated in the rear part of the building, in the paint and oil room, and 18 s upvosed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion, Just as it was discovered the fire must have communicated with same oil, for thera was a terrific explosion which shattered every win- in the building and the flames at onco d to all parts of the structure. When men arrived in response to an alarm turned in from box 31. the flames were burn- ing fiercely and the small Babeock chemicals were of no avail. Several lines of hose were laid, but there appeared to be a lamentable lack of system and the hose was piled up in front of the burning building in_extricable confusion, It was several minutes before water was turned on, but after that the flames were speedily gotten under control. ‘The hose company from No. dengine house worked from the of the building and did most effective worl It was tiresome to see the work of a portion of the department in front of the blazing tinder box. They were trying to raise o ladder and get a line of hose to the roof of the one-story building adjoining, and_nearly twelve minutes were consumed in effecting what should huve been done in less than half that time. However, the fire was eventually extinguished. Iire man Wicks of No. 3 had ahand badly burned and Firewan Hitchcock of the same com- pany had both hands and his face severely burped aad blistered. [he stock of Woolsey & Long which was valued at $4,500, was damaged considerably by fire but far more by smoke und iater, and 1s almost a total loss, It was insured for $1,000. The second foor was occupied by J. A. Gorham's photographic studio and his loss will be heavy. Fire damaged his cameras and other apparatus in the rear rooms and water did the rest. He had hun- dreds of negatives which will be either greatly damaged or entirely destroved. It will be difiienlt to fix the amount of his damage, but 1t can not fall short of 34,000 All of his books and with the exception of orcer books, which were carried out during the fire were in the safe, and_their condition ean not bo ascertained until it is opaned today. Sapp & Kuotis, coal dealers, had an office on the lower foor, but their books were saved, and their joss' consists ouly of a desk and table, valued at about $30. The building was owned by B. Terwilliger, and was worth about $300, which is covered by insusance. ‘I'he fire also communicated to the adjoin- ing building, 20 Main street, owned by (George Keeline and occupied by C. L. Gil- lette. ‘Lhe front room was used asa hai dressing estublishment by Mrs. Gillette The roof of the building wus aimost entirely destroyed. The furaniture was all removed, a red hot stove being among the ariicles car- ricd out by the spectators, and deposited on the sidewalk. Gillette’s property was in- sured for $1,000 in the Merchants of New York, and the buildiug was also covercd by insurance. It was some time before the fire was com- pletely extinguished and a large crowd col- lected and completely filled the street. Gillette had partially moved his stock to another building on Pearl street, where he is Dreparing to open a wall paper establishment. Graham was also proparing to move, having leased quartors in the now Evans block, a few doors south, and would have moved as s0on as the structure was completed. The amount of his insurance is not known. The water pressure was all that could bs desired from the start. It was clearly dem- onstrated thata chemical engine is a cryime need. Had one been on hand last night it would have saved more than enough to tave poid for itself.

J. Finegan, a butcher in the employ of George Meschendorf, charged with throwing a brick through a motor win- dow, was called 1n police court yesterday morning. It seems that Finegan boarded a motor at Omaha Monduy evening to come to this city. He paid his fare and went to sleep. Arriving at the car house he was awakened by Conductor Bretz, who demanded another fare. He refused to pay, and was puc off the train, recewving in the meantime several blows in the face. He retaliuted by throw- ing & brick through the window, for which he was arrested. When the case was called, Bretz asked that it be dismissed. The pris- oner was discharged, and the costs, amount- ing to #5.10, were taxed up to the conductor, ———— An Unfounded Rumor A rumor was cicculated last evening that fon.

Then, nigger-like, he laid it to the devil and flung himself down on his knees to pray. Itaising his eyes to heaven he saw an immense eagle swooping down upon him. John is no coward and as soon as he saw his enemy s spirit came back to him, He canght his gun and when the eagle got hin fifty feet of him he fired hoth The small shot struck the big all over the head, as we after- found out. but only made 1t more furious. John barely had time to drop the gun and dreaw his knife when the eagle struck him a fearful blow on the head with its beak. Of course il the eagle had been smart it would never have tackled a nigger's head instead of his shins. Jonn lost a handful of wool and countored with his knife, making a deep gash in the eagle’s throat. Then they had it, rough and tumble, all over the ciearing. The eagle dead gamne and the nigger was tighting for his life. It was nip and tuck, too, forawhile, and tho infernal bird: was cutting John's face and hands into a checker-board, when he managed to get a hold on_its neck and cut its d--d windpipe. The niggor crawled home and told his stovy, aad as soon as we had patched him up we went out to look for the eagle.

A correspondent writes to the Chieago Herald: To give a complote scalo of wages of the English printers would occupy n large amount of space and time, Different prices are paid 18 to size of typoe and quality of matter. The picce scale in the cities visited varies from 26 10 46 cents per 1,000 ems, The scale of Ameri cities of the fi rst; uss ranges from 30 to 46 cents per 1,000 The hours of labor in England range from fifty to fifty-fou week, timo wages being $9.50 to $12.50. the United States the hours of lahor in the same class of cities ave fifty-nine, and weekly wages run from 315 to $18. Some smallér southern and western cities pay ns high as §28 o weelk. From what it was possible to gather, the sociul condition of the knglish printer is well to the front as compared with that of the other artisans, and has been steadily on the advance for the last forty years. During that time his labor trouble has all been occasioned by the demand for improvement in wages and decreaso of the hours of labor. The ‘‘tourist” is almost unknown among the English printers. Men are born, learn the t i id die in the same city. se and son work side by side, and cases are not infre quent where printers have noever worked fifty imiles from the spot of their birth. Tn the United States the opposite is the vule. Itis not uncommoun to meet printers who have worked in almost every large city of the country. With the Knghishman’s stay-at-homo tenden- cies goes the fact that he is more of a domestic man., The printer is nearly always a marvied man and a man who appears to have o high regard for his family. He, in talking trade matters, almost invariably has something to say of ‘‘the wife” or “the family.” His great object is ‘‘tc make a home.” The writer found, he should judge, that about 5 per cent of the printers ke had the opportunity of fheeting were own- ers of house property. This may not be true of the entire trade of the kingdom. In the United states, in the localities with which he is conversant, the per- centage runs from 2 to 14 per cent, counting as property-holders those who are paying for their homes through building associations, ete. The printer of Kngland does not dress so well as do some American printers. He does not apparently care for the stylish in garments—rather ‘‘goesin” for the serviceable auhd com- fortable. It is perhaps true that he looks as well as his Amerfean brother, taking the trade all the way through; for while the ‘“dressy” printer is very uncommon in England, his opposite, the untady printer, is likewise almost unknow The glish printer has no idea of the speed of the American in type- ing, and the interior of an English is something of a revelation to a » from this country The com- positor there always has time to stop and talk to a visitor; everything isslow and deliberate. 'The paper is fully made up 1into coluwmn lengths on gal- loys before it ever secs the forms, and when made up into j@res proofsare taken to the editors. In fact, nowhere in the composing room is au English n paper exceptin the fact that both are made up of type. When the page of a paper reaches the stereotyping-room the matter is entirely different. Here is where the American cnn learn something as to speed. In the office of the Evening News, in Man- chester, a paper making ten editions each day, the writer saw a plate go to the press-room in six and three-quarter minutes after the page came into the stereotyping-room. This speed is nec- essarry on account of the great. circula- tion and number of editions. The reg- ular stereotyping time is seven and one- half minutes to the page, which is equal to the best’time ever made in America. This speed is achieved, however at the expense of neatness. It this office was seen a patent pro- cess, the property of the paper itself, for making over any page. It consists of an additional cylinder on the press, to which is attached a rounded section containing the additional matter de- sired. Arl that is necessary is to have a department, in the columns of the edition then working, of the same length aus the matter contained in the small “turtle.” This depart- ment is chiseled outat the time the section is attached to the additional cylinder on the press, and the new edi- tion starts in less than thirty seconds from the time it leaves the compositors’ hands. To sum up the case as far as England is concerned, as compared ‘with the United States, the English printer re- ceives less wages and pavs a greater percentage of those wages for living expenses; does less work in an hour and works less hours; lives longer on the average; he dreses not so well and not 80 badly; he lives a more localized and domestio life. Situations ure held by him with more tenacity, and, if of the elect, he is more steadily employed, but woe to him if from any cause he gets on the “‘outside.” e ‘Watch the box, buy the genuine Red Cross Cough Drops, 5 cents per box. - The Strugele of Sea and Land, We stand on a bluff at the seashore.
